ORIGINAL EDGEWOOD PAINTINGS TO BENEFIT FRIENDS OF EDGEWOOD Trevlyn Williams, a Friends of Edgewood member and recent docent graduate, is also a talented artist. She has produced a series of watercolors of Edgewood environs that she calls “Edgewood Views.” The paintings range from 11x15 to 22x30 and will be exhibited at Gallery House, 320 California Ave, Palo Alto (enter through the Printers Inc. cafe). The exhibit opens June 28th and runs until July 23rd. There will be an opening reception on Friday July 8th from 6 to 9 pm, with wine, food, and live music. Trevlyn has generously offered to donate 10% of all sales proceeds to the Friends of Edgewood.
About the Artist Trevlyn grew up on a farm in South Africa where she developed an abiding interest in the environment. She has a science degree and has taught high school biology and marine environmental education. She began painting with watercolors in the late 1980’s, producing mainly artwork depicting African cultural artifacts and animals. She left South Africa in 1993 to live in the U.S. and she and her husband ended up buying a house in Emerald Hills, lured by its proximity to Edgewood. After regular visits to Edgewood, she began work on “Edgewood Views” last fall. She is very happy to be combining her love of the outdoors with painting, and hopes others will recognize and enjoy the scenes in this series. |
